What awards has Banjo Paterson won?

Andrew Barton Paterson, or Banjo Paterson, was actually trained as a fully qualified solicitor. He was also passionately nationalistic, which made him popular with Australians in a newly-established country searching for its individuality apart from Britain. In 1885, Paterson started publishing his poetry in the Sydney edition of The Bulletin, using the pseudonym of "The Banjo", the name of a favourite horse. In 1890 he wrote the poem "The Man From Snowy River", which really caught the heart of the nation, and in 1895 had a collection of his works published under that name. This book is the most sold collection of Australian Bush Poetry and is still being reprinted today. He was also the author of other well known poems such "Clancy of the Overflow", "Mulga Bill's Bicycle" and, of course, "Waltzing Matilda". Paterson was also a war correspondent during the Boer war.

What is the Swagman's Rest by Banjo Paterson about?

"The Swagman's Rest" is a poem by A.B. 'Banjo' Paterson. Swagman is an Australian term, referring to a drifter of the outback or bush, who would carry all his worldly possessions in his "swag" as he wandered between cattle stations, sheep stations and homesteads, looking for work. "The Swagman's Rest" refers to an old swaggie who has died, and therefore finds his "final rest". It is about his burial, and about how, even the seemingly hopeless and homeless (and alcoholic) swagman, deserved to have his final wishes honoured, regarding his burial. In doing so, his friends found the richest gold reef ever in the area - his body lay upon it. But the old swagman never had the opportunity to enjoy it himself.

How does the banjo produce sound?

A banjo produces sound from string vibration. The strings rest on a wooden bridge, which is sitting on top of a banjo head, basically the same as a drum head you would find on a snare drum for instance, but special heads are made just for the banjo. When a string is plucked, the vibration travels from the string, to the bridge, then it is transmitted to the head of the banjo, so just like an acoustic guitar, no electronic amplification is needed.
